After learning enough Rust to do some things I definitely agree with you regarding it being an awesome language to work with. My main concern is with ease to contribute by non-maintainers as shown in the other reply to my comment, and it's not the first time I've seen the sentiment. However, maybe having lemmy's official web UI be in leptos will both help to popularize the framework and encourage frontend devs to become proficient in a language other than JavaScript.

For sure. The leptos devs and community have already been helping with a ton of issues I've been having with some smaller leptos projects I've been using to teach myself. I'm really excited about its potential, and hope it grows.
